First Look at Menu for New AstroFizz in Magic Kingdom
Here’s some cool news! Walt Disney World has shared a sneak peek at the menu and food photos for AstroFizz, the new dining stand opening soon in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom as a replacement to the retired Cool Ship (RIP to another vestige of the once iconic Tomorrowland ’94 style).
For those who haven’t been following this saga, Walt Disney World announced back in mid-May that “Cool Ship is temporarily closed for refurbishment and is expected to reopen later this year.” A few construction permits were filed around that time for general construction and installation of a new kiosk.
In the months that followed, the old Cool Ship was completely removed and the pavement was torn up in a large area of Tomorrowland beyond just the base of the old kiosk. We assume that work was being done beyond just the basic refurbishment and replacement of a snack stand, as the project area was fairly sizable and the work has taken several months. From the PeopleMover, it looked like something else was happening. (I’m not sure what, but the Utilidor is more or less underneath that.)
The foundation under the snack stand was totally rebuilt and, about a month ago, a new kiosk appeared in Tomorrowland. The AstroFizz structure itself was likely fabricated off-site, because one day there was nothing and the next day it was in place, fully assembled (minus a bit of ornamentation). Progress has been ongoing to the surrounding pavement and detail work on the snack stand since then.
Even though it’s pretty clearly been a Cool Ship replacement from the beginning, there’s been speculation among fans about what this “mystery project” entails due to its footprint and lengthy timeline. Most of the speculation was tongue in cheek, though, and revolved around whether it’d be a food & beverage location or another Disney Vacation Club sales kiosk.
What we didn’t know until now is what the kiosk would serve. Well, aside from Coca-Cola. That much seemed obvious given Walt Disney World’s longtime corporate alliance with Coke at this location. We also didn’t know what it’d be called. It was safe to say the name Cool Ship would be retired since the new stand has swooping lines reminiscent of the nearby Joffrey’s Revive stand and classic Tomorrowland, with nary a spaceship in sight.
With the Cool Ship saga now wrapping up and AstroFizz being revealed as its replacement, I guess we’ll have to find a new multi-month construction project to watch from the TTA PeopleMover. (I’ll happily take a Tomorrowland Speedway replacement, or even a track shortening and modernization. Guests would go crazy for the Happy Ride with Baymax!)
Anyway, here’s the menu and food photos for AstroFizz in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom:
Coca-Cola, Fanta Blue Raspberry or Fanta Orange Frozen Slushies.
Cherry Cola Churro: Churro rolled in cherry sugar, drizzled with Coca-Cola Cherry icing, and topped with cherry popping candies.
AstroFizz will also serve popcorn.
Honestly, the menu doesn’t do a whole lot for me, but then again, I’ve always been more of a Lunching Pad or Auntie Gravity’s guy. I will say that I had slightly higher expectations for this location given the size of the kiosk, and following the menu at the other new-ish Coca-Cola stand, Ice Cold Hydraulics at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Ice Cold Hydraulics has actually become a sleeper favorite of mine. Both the mini cinnamon rolls and bacon churros are better than they have any right to be (pictured below), and while they may not be worth the $9-10 price tags, they are worth Disney Dining Plan credits or (as has been the case for me on a couple of occasions) DVC Moonlight Magic snack vouchers.
I had hoped AstroFizz would be more like that. The churro does look interesting, though. And maybe this isn’t the full menu. The official website for AstroFizz does mention cotton candy, so there could be more to come. A savory snack and a marquee dessert (I don’t think the churro qualifies, but others might disagree) would be nice.
Speaking of that official site, it does not yet have hours or an opening date for AstroFizz. The current calendar runs through late December 2025 and says “no times available” for all dates through then. This is almost certainly wrong.
October 29, 2025 Update: Walt Disney World just released the Food Guide to 2025 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party & Holiday Season at Magic Kingdom and it includes AstroFizz as one of the locations.
During MVMCP, AstroFizz will serve the Cherry-White Chocolate Slushy pictured above. It’s a non-alcoholic Fanta Cherry slushy served with a crackable white chocolate-coated cup with whipped cream, cherry gummy candy, and festive sprinkles.
Given that, we can safely say that AstroFizz opens on or before November 7, 2025. My guess is before. Just judging by progress photos, it appears we’re days away from the opening of AstroFizz. The signage and menus are already up, and Cast Members have been spotted inside. My guess is that AstroFizz opens before Jersey Week and Veterans Day arrive.
On an aesthetic note, the new kiosk looks nice and is in keeping with the direction they’ve been going with Tomorrowland as part of the rolling reimagining that started way back in 2018-2019.
As noted above, it’s very similar to the Joffrey’s Revive stand that’s nearby, and feels much more in keeping with the retro-futuristic mid-century and space age style of Tomorrowland than the 1994 incarnation of the land. There’s still a lot to be done in the land, but if recent developments are any indication, the answer to Is It Time for Tomorrowland’s Reimagining? is yes.
Now is the best time for a rolling reimagining of the land, and we expect that to continue into the future with more to come thanks to the Carousel of Progress and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin projects, the latter of which should deliver a new facade for the attraction. Here’s hoping that there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow for Tomorrowland in 2026, with even more projects we don’t yet know about on the horizon!

Sounds like a big yawn. I never did get around to purchasing anything from Cool Ship. Some small food stands aren’t worth trying to be a theme park completist for.
Great shots man! Was that opener the Rokinon 8mm fisheye? Since I got the full-frame a7RIVA I haven’t used that one much. Still works but it crops down as that’s a APS-C lens. Anxious to go back to WDW with the new rig and re-shoot a bunch of pics.
My brother and I started dabbling in astrophotography in addition to the less-recent rocket launch stuff (Yes, I had a tripod on a boat for the Starship Super Heavy IFT11 flight a few weeks ago down at Starbase), so more stuff to buy. He already had a CEM-60 for his 12″ telescope but I recently picked up an iEXOS-100 that will do about a 19# payload. And now the question about a dedicated CMOS or a converted SLR for the imaging…
Agree with Mickey on the better name. Hoping it lives up to it.
I’d have to go back and look at the EXIF (and I don’t have the RAW files easily accessible), but I’m guessing it was the Nikon 8-15mm fisheye.
I currently have 3 different fisheyes–that, the Rokinon 12mm, and the TTArtisan 12mm. None of them are great options on full-frame mirrorless. The Nikon is too big when I’m trying to travel light, and the other two are too soft unless stopped down to f/8.
That’s awesome about the astrophotography! That’s something I’ve never gotten into, and probably won’t for a while. I don’t think now is the phase in my life when I should be acquiring a new and novel type of gear. But good for you!
I don’t care about snacks per se, but the photos in this article are awesome! The opening shot of the People Mover must have taken quite a few shots to get right, and the People Mover sunset pic is the best shot of that ride I’ve ever seen.
Thanks! The first photo actually took several *years* to get right. With a fisheye on the ground, it’s very easy to mess up the horizon and have the edges of the frame off-kilter. That was actually the biggest challenge of that photo (similar story with the second image of the Tomorrowland sign shadow). Something that seems easier than it actually is.
The last photo is my favorite, and that was complete dumb luck. Saw the scene while getting off the PeopleMover and quickly grabbed my camera. Less than 3 seconds from vision to execution. Funny how that works!
First, you gotta love the name. ASTRO FIZZ!
Second, if you ever see me on line here please shoot me.
Meant to add ASTRO FIZZ is way cooler than Cool Ship ever was.
